I wish you WOULD hold your breath, Bigcliff. A hundred years would be good. Then you could see clearly just how wrong you are, and we wouldn't have to bother reading your drivel and this odd right-wing ranting that seems to drip off the pages of IBD where you seem to get most of your opinions from.

Here, this will help you to become informed, so you don't appear to be such a right-wing dingaling and fawning toadie of the neocon "Rape, pillage and burn" gang of in-denial idiots...
RealClimate » How much future sea level rise? More evidence from models and ice sheet observations.
Here is just the footnote, but the full article is a good read. Remember kids, ignorance can kill you...
*Note that we don't actually have good constrains on the rate of sea level rise from the penultimate glacial period (~140,000 years ago) to the last interglacial (LIG, ~125,000 years ago). However, we have very good data on the more recent glacial-to-interglacial transition, between about 14,000 and 7,000 years ago. During that time, sea levels rose at an average rate of about 11 mm/year, and at rates much higher than that for short intervals.
**Consider for example, that 1 m of sea level rise would change the frequency of what are now 100-year floods in metropolitan New York to once in every four years events. (See

Because your ignorance makes me sad, Bigicecliff, here is some information on Polar Bears.
Polar bears in recent decades
Even more information, with verifiable links. You may point out the parts where they say the Polar Bear population is increasing, if you like.

Bjorn Lomborg,
a man after your own heart, Bigcliff. An assistant professor of statistics, no less. The climate is in good hands !
